Hi! i just have my x-ray on the chest and the result tells : Fibrohazed opacities are seen in the left apex, the rest of the lungs are clear; cardiac shadow is normal; diaphragm and sulci are intact. IMPRESSION: PTB,Minimal,left. Activity undetermined
According to X-ray report,there are fibrohazy opacities in the left apical region.Microbial activity can't be properly assessed in this region.Generally microbial activity is shown in the X-ray as non homogeneous opacity(air bronchogram). It may be due to T.B(koch's infection).You need further investigations like PCR to rule out T.B. Rest of the lung fields are normal. Cardiac size is normal. Both CP angles & diaphragm are also normal. Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
